With the widespread use of Facebook, it has been argued that blogging is dead. It turns out that blogging is not dead, it has just taken on another form. Microblogging platform Tumblr has just announced that it is now amongst the top 10 most visited websites in the United States.

According to data from Quantcast, Tumblr now has a global reach of around 170 million users. This is compared to 120 million at the beginning of the year, which translates to an increase of over 40%.
